Bloodshot

Mildly avoids being by the numbers by virtue of ... doing the by the numbers thing for the first twenty minutes before putting a twist in there. It does mean that the opening still feels super-cliched, and the twist only ends up improving things a little. Vin does his Vin thing down to spending a chunk of time in a white singlet, the supporting cast mostly gets not-a-lot to do, and the fight sequences sometimes feel quite messy (though the ending battle has a few good bits). This is at least pushing a little beyond the usual nonsense, even if it doesn't always get there.
